We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Commvault Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"The solution has increased our threat detection rate. Cisco Stealthwatch has not reduced our incident response times. It has not reduced the amount of time it takes us to detect immediate threats. It has reduced false positives."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has reduced the amount of time to detect an immediate threat."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."
"In terms of the speed of backup, it operates seamlessly, so I'd rate it as excellent... with my daily use and workload, quite honestly I don't even notice when it backs up."
"The Commvault Complete Data Protection interface is straightforward to use."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication ratio. It saves most of our space and reduces the network traffic."
"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"Among the best features are the BMR (Bare Metal Recovery), Live Sync, and IntelliSnap, which is used for snapshots of hypervisor storage. It's predefined so you only need to enable it and it works. I haven't seen anything like this in other backup tools like Veritas NetBackup or Dell EMC or TSM. We will use snapshotting for all our machines."
"We have VMware, Hyper-V, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL. We have a lot of different systems, and all of them are supported under one licensing agreement. That's one of the benefits."
"Commvault provides data protection. Their engine is ransomware-agnostic so ransomware doesn't compromise our backup data. Therefore, we can rely on their data protection to recover and back up our production system."
"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"We are continuing down the road of ACI and ISE with Cisco, so we would like to see the continuation of Stealthwatch integrating into ISE for exchange of information, and also, more into the ACI environment too."
"Stealthwatch is still maturing in AI. It uses artificial intelligence for predictions, but AI still needs to mature. It is in a phase where you get 95% correct detection. As its AI engine learns more, it will become more accurate. This is applicable to all the devices that are using AI because they support both supervised and unsupervised machine learning. The accuracy in the case of supervised machine learning is dependent on the data you feed into the box. The accuracy in the case of unsupervised machine learning is dependent on the algorithm. The algorithm matures depending on retrospective learning, and this is how it is able to detect zero-day attacks."
"I would like the search page available with Cisco Stealthwatch to be more intuitive. The previous release was better than the current one for the UI."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"They need to improve when it comes to large, video file archiving. They're good, but they have not met my expectations as a customer in this area."
"Commvault HyperScale X could improve by allowing backups of the storage area network (SAN)."
"The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management."
"The reporting could be improved because the reports we get from our partner aren't sufficient. It isn't very detailed. I'm not sure if it's an issue with our partner or Metallic. They do a full backup on Monday and incremental backups throughout the week. However, we don't get detailed reports about the size of the incremental backups. The report just tells us whether a backup was successful."
"The functional integration could be better."
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"Compared to Rubrik, MongoDB Data Protector, and NetBackup, Commvault is better. The licensing team was quite tricky recently because they stopped the unlimited files for that license. Commvault made a bank of 500GB only, a node-based license can take it, which is disappointing. Reporting needs to be more granular. Also, there should be a showback of data being backed up, and the backup cost to share the cost internally with the department."
"The solution requires improvement with its connection and bandwidth."
